The DOT Drug Test

The US DOT requires all employees covered by Part 40 take a DOT Drug Test when applying for a Safety Sensitive position (pre-employment) or when randomly selected from a DOT regulated consortium. Other times in which a DOT Drug Test may be required is when a supervisor has Reasonable Suspicion of illegal drug use, or when a Post-Accident Test is required in accordance with Part 40. The US Department of Transportation requires a drug test in accordance with the Ombius Transportation employee act of 1991 which was enacted by Congress due to several serious transportation accidents. The Act required DOT agencies to implement drug testing of all safety-sensitive transportation employees including trucking, aviation, school bus drivers, van operators, railroads, mass transit, and pipeline industries. The requirement to conduct alcohol testing was also implemented in 1994. The US Coast Guard has adopted DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing requirements as stated in Part 40.
